Congestive Heart Failure, CHF, Patty Hedrick, @PKHedrick #NursesonTheNet:"Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition that requires a lot of daily management. As a result, it impacts not only the
patient, but also family and friends. Without careful monitoring, your loved one can end up with scary symptoms that often result in hospitalization. On the other hand,
careful following of dietary restrictions and daily weight and blood pressure checks can nip these frightening flares in the bud.
Anyone living with or helping someone with CHF will find it is a big job. And it takes its toll. In addition to daily assistance, CHF is unpredictable. There are good days and
bad days. Your relative can tire easily and need to cancel even the most cherished plans. "Cabin fever" is common for both the patient and family members. So is depression."

Your Changing Role, Patty Hedrick, RN, @PKHedrick, North Star #ElderCare, #Nurseup #Caregivers
Your Changing Role, Patty Hedrick, RN, @PKHedrick, North Star Elder Care:"Many family members comment that caring for an aging parent feels like a "role reversal." They have become the parent and their parent is the child. There certainly may be similarities in terms of your parent's dependence upon you.
You are likely to run into problems, however, if you try to assume a parental role. Even persons with severe memory loss remember years of independence. They do not respond well to being shut out of decisions or told what to do. Like any adult, they want to be respected."

Why Mom may not be taking her pills, Patty Hedrick, @PKHedrick, North Star Elder Care #Nurseup #Eldercare
Why Mom may not be taking her pills, Patty Hedrick, @PKHedrick North Star Elder Care:"Did your parent teach you to "do what the doctor says"? If he or she is not following doctor's orders for medications now, you're probably feeling confused. And concerned.
It's common for patients not to take pills as directed. Some reasons include:
"It's too costly." One quarter of new prescriptions are never filled because of cost. Make sure the drug is on the insurance plan formulary. Or ask about generics. Find a discount pharmacy, or consider mail order."
